The Neurological Alliance of Ireland is launching a new campaign today calling for action on regional neurology services. Access to a Consultant Neurologist should not depend on where you live yet people with chronic long term neurological conditions are regularly travelling between 60 and 112 km to see their Neurologist.
23 organisations have joined the NAI campaign which is seeking funding for Consultant Neurologists in 5 regional hospitals across the country in Bantry, Wexford, Portlaoise, Letterkenny and Mayo hospitals.
The campaign is being launched today as part of events nationwide to mark National Brain Awareness Week taking place throughout this week.
Visit the campaign website www.patientsdeservebetter.ie and follow the campaign on social media #patientsdeservebetter.
An information leaflet about the campaign is available to download below
